The photo to the left is Here’s  Jeff relaxing at his tailgate – note the old metal cup, the last time I saw it in use it looked it was dented, but still functional.  Not sure of the date of this photo – no beard and the blue pants have not faded very much.  Note the cargo area – all of Jeff’s tailgate gear packed neatly into that small area – we helped Jeff pack by staying out of his way and doing as we were told.  

"I first met Jeff in the fall of 1955.  Football season was starting, and I was a pledge.  One of the first rules for new pledges was when a visitor came through the door the first brother or pledge who saw him had to rush to the door with a hand extended to welcome the visitor and make them feel welcome.  We were meeting and getting to know alums who were coming back to watch games.  We got to know these men and learned from them.  What impressed was their interest in us – the lowly pledges."
